Flat breads for wraps, like Mountain Bread
« on: January 31, 2010, 01:20:36 am »
Is it possible to make these at home, or are they in the same basket as puff pastry? It's a rare rainy day in very dry Toowoomba, and I'm thinking about more interesting school lunches for my girls as we go in to week 2. Miss Prep isn't a fan of bread so I thought I'd try to make something to capture her imagination a little.

Any recipes, TMX or not...?

Looks like what is called Lavash in the middle east.  I'll attach one recipe I found online.  It's soft initially, and if kept wrapped will stay pliable, but if left in the air turns into a cracker - which needs to be rehydrated before making things with it.

I imagine these should fit the bill.

It's weird having rain isn't it?  Have to use the dryer which is very rare.

The pita from changing habbits is divine - thumbs up from entire family.  Ms Fussy loves them as there is 'no crust'.   I have also frozen these and used for pizza bases (though not often as they are consumed instantly).

Never have or would have tried these pre-isi days but now, having mastered the art of making bread and rolls it is time to move onto something different.  What an exciting path the TMX leads us down.
